Easter History

* Easter is a religious holiday and recognition of spring, the return of life.
* Easter is celebrated as the religious holiday commemorating the resurrection of Jesus Christ, the son of God.
* The 8th-century English scholar St. Bede, believe the name Easter is thought to come from the Scandinavian "Ostra" and the Teutonic "Ostern" or "Eastre," both Goddesses of mythology signifying spring and fertility whose festival was celebrated on the day of the vernal equinox.
* Traditions associated with pagan festivals survive in the Easter rabbit, a symbol of fertility, and in colored Easter eggs, originally painted with bright colors to represent the sunlight of spring, and used in Easter-egg rolling contests, Easter egg hunts, or given as gifts.
* There is a definite connection between the Jewish Passover and the Christian feast of Easter since Christ died on the first Jewish Easter Day. Christ's death and Resurrection had its figures and types in the Old Law, particularly in the paschal lamb, which was eaten towards evening of the 14th of Nisan.

EASTER CANDY TOSS: Take a piece of red construction paper and draw 3 circles in the middle of the paper. Make the circles three different sizes so it resembles a bull's eye (the size of the circles will depend on the age of the kids, the older the kids the smaller the circle). Color each circle a different color and write in different point values for each circle.

Easter Ideas

BLOWING THE EGG: Two pieces of cotton or tape are stretched across the carpet. An ordinary hen's egg -- which has had the entire contents removed without cracking the shell -- is laid exactly midway between the tape lines. A girl player then makes a little paper fan out of half a sheet of notepaper and kneels down on one side of the tapes and a boy kneels down on the other. The girl then has to try to fan the egg shell across the tape on the boy's side and he has to try to blow the shell back across the tape on the girl's side. The one who first drives the egg across his partner's line three times wins the contest. Nothing must be used by the girl but the paper fan or her hand, and the boy must simply blow with his mouth.
